Cash For Rash

Published 1st Mar 2016

Marcus Rashford is reportedly having talks to secure his future at Manchester United after a dream start to his senior career.

The 18-year-old is also said to be having discussions about his salary after scoring four goals in his first two games.

Rashford's double strike in United's 3-2 win over Arsenal was arguably the brightest moment in the most trying of recent seasons for the club.

Teammate Juan Mata is convinced United's young stars, led by Rashford, could have rescued the campaign after boss Louis Van Gaal had no choice but to blood them to due to a lengthening injury list.

Mata wrote on United's official website: With such a good team performance it's never fair to highlight this or that player, but of course all of us are very happy for Marcus Rashford.

He's played just a few minutes with the first team and has already scored very important goals, showing his great potential and giving us a hint of the bright future that I'm sure he has and that I wish to him.

Besides, the club's tradition and its connection with the Academy is making the fans proud of the great moment that Marcus and other team-mates are living, for they can see that the work with the young players is being rewarded.''

United team-mate Morgan Schneiderlin said: It is amazing for him. He reminds me a bit of Anthony (Martial), the way that he started, scoring against Liverpool and against Southampton. It's the same for Marcus; he is a very good player.

He didn't train with the first team many times, but when he did train we could see straight away that he had this quality.

I hope he continues like that, because he is an exciting prospect for the football club.''
